people assume they know what a sandwich is. lunch meat, cheese, tomato, lettuce, mayonnaise. maybe bacon if you're fancy. they're all fools. your local deli would weep at what i create. i am building a sandwich that could immanentize the eschaton. i'm putting fruit on it. honey. lao gan ma. it's crunchy it's sweet it's spicy it's savory. this sandwich will fix me. it could fix you too, if you'd let it

I think I should start back up the discussion about what counts as a sandwich in the most annoying way possible.

Watching my fiancé make a sandwich is wild. It takes me approximately 30 seconds to throw together a sandwich, and this guy can spend quadruple that time just making sure the butter is evenly spread on each piece of bread. They’re meticulous. Artful, even. It’s a sandwich.

Saw this by a reputable source. I only get fed the finest of misinformation!
(Also if you know the source, please tell me. I forgot.)

Can you describe your platonic ideal of a sandwich? The bread, the fillings, the construction?
Okay so the bread has to be a little crusty. I want a bite to the sandwich, a good baguette like a Grant Central or Macrina if you know those bakeries. Sometimes in a pinch, a regular sourdough or a cheese roll can step in though. The next step is really important. Toppings need to cover exactly 75% of the surface of the bread ideally.
We want just a little more bread than we want toppings so that we don't end up with toppings sliding off of the sandwich as it deforms while we eat. We also slice it in half to manage this issue and bite from opposite sides to maintain equilibrium.
When we add sauce, we add sauce between meats and cheeses so as not to make bread soggy, the bread cannot ever be soggy. Pickles and other wet toppings follow the same rule, cheese makes an excellent barrier. Vegetable or textural toppings like potato chips, red onions are excellent to put in contact with bread.
If it's to be eaten right now, oil and vinegar can be added to the bread but only if it's gonna be eaten in the next 5 minutes. Any longer and it soaks in and creates wet bread texture. Following these rules, you can construct an Olivia sandwich for yourself at home.
Now for the insides of the sandwich - the meat and cheese! I like to use Havarti, Creamery Cheddar, or Gouda depending on my mood. I lean Havarti generally, it's just easy and tasty. Creamy cheeses like that complement the meats I tend to use. For me, there's no replacement for Boar's Head deli meat, I've loved rosemary ham, pastrami, pepperoni, chipotle chicken, and very occasionally prosciutto - though it's too expensive.
In terms of sauces, I like a yellow, dijon or honey mustard. I pair that with either a pesto mayo or a chipotle mayo depending on my current spice desires. Vegetables, I don't do quite enough of. I tend to lean on pickled peppers (especially mama's lil peppers!), bubbies pickle chips / slices but I love red onions too. Romaine lettuce with a good crunch is excellent if it is fresh though it so rarely is. I could also really enjoy a good spinach though I rarely actually do.

PLEASE tell me some of your favorite sandwiches...i work at a diner and i get one free sandwich per day and i almost always get the exact same thing. gimme something that will deeply bamboozle the kitchen staff
thank you for this ask. i am so sorry for the sandwich tangent that it inspired. this post is in fact so long that i have to put it under a read more tag so it doesn't reach Do You Love The Color Of The Sky notoriety. also this has been written as, like, a general cooking guide instead of Things You Can Order At A Diner, but otherwise feel free to show this post to your kitchen staff and watch their minds crumble
to build a great sandwich - a truly Fucked Up Sandwich - you must first understand that a sandwich is, at its core, just some bread with stuff on it. as a disclaimer, i don't mean to diss the classics. they're around for a reason. i just know that PERSONALLY i am a little bit sick of the same second grade lunchbox sandwich, and PERSONALLY i prefer to push the boundaries of simple food preparation into the realm of the eldritch and unknown.
the sandwiches i make are different every time. you may have heard the old adage "cooking is an art." that is partially true, sometimes, kind of. cooking, for me, is more like a four year old getting access to paint for the first time and losing their whole goddamn mind about it. i want you to let go of every rule you think there is. make things up. go crazy.
the bread of the sandwich matters only insofar as it can support its fillings. i tend to use plain ol whole wheat, but honestly, you can use whatever you'd like. my big piece of advice here is to think about the structural integrity of your design. much like a bread engineer, because that's what you are. if your fillings are wet or gelatinous (hold on, we're getting there) you NEED a crustier bread. sara lee won't cut it. some people like fancy bread with herbs and shit. i see the bread more as a canvas than as part of the painting, but like, there are no rules. go ham.
speaking of ham. this is the section where you expect me to disavow lunch meats. i shan't. pre-sliced meat is a brilliant (and cheap!) way to provide the basis of flavor for your sandwich AND to make sure you get enough protein. if you're vegan or vegetarian, you'll have to skip this step, but that's okay because it's not an integral part of the process. that being said, i think it lays a solid foundation for the whole sandwich's raison d'etre.
pairing with a good cheese is a classic for a reason. i stay away from american - it melts beautifully, which makes it great for grilled cheese, but it also has an artificial quality to it that i don't really vibe with. swiss, provolone, and cheddar are staples, but honest to god, any cheese can be made to work if you build around it. (side note: the best grilled cheese uses american, pepper jack, colby, and a tomato. season the OUTSIDE of the bread with butter, red pepper flakes, garlic, and a dash of oregano. fry up an egg and put it on top and oh baby. ham optional if you want some extra protein.)
ok. you have your basics. now i need you to take a look around your kitchen and GO WILD.
one of my Go To Combinations is turkey, swiss, and a fruit jam (i like apricot). it is EXTREMELY good and easy to make, and the jam gives it just the right touch of sweetness to complement to mellow flavor of the turkey. if you're like, "oh, wow, you put JAM? on a SANDWICH??? ARE YOU OK????" you need to stop reading right now. the shaggy-like combinations that i concoct may be too strong for you, traveler.
if you like sweet foods and want to lean into that, keep exploring Fruit Road. jams and preserves work wonders. fruit butters are also nice for a more savory touch, but can get expensive and/or seasonal. you can also go for Fruits themselves: thinly sliced apple + ham + brie (or swiss, if you can't swing a more expensive cheese) is a godsend. most fruits belong on a sandwich tbh. grapes, tangerines, bananas, pineapple: it's all about the right context.
if you want to go Even Further Beyond, Fruit Road takes you right down to Sweets Avenue. honey works on most sandwiches, and - hear me out - will cut the tangy, eggy flavor of mayonnaise. it's easy for honey to overpower, though, so i'd say to go for a little before tasting and reassessing. plain or vanilla yogurt also complements fruit really well without being overpowering. if you REALLY want to go sweet, i like marshmallow fluff + bananas + peanut butter for protein. i've yet to find good vegan alternates to these, unfortunately - agave nectar would work in place of honey, but play around and see what you can come up with.
if you want to go savory, then Aromatics Boulevard will make sure you get substance and flavor. basil is an underrated addition to sandwiches, as are green onions, garlic (jarlic works great for this, don't @ me), and cabinet spices. you might need to try a little to get the proportions right, but chicken + mozzarella + plain yogurt + curry powder is frankly a godsend. i also lovelovelove a good sauce; nando's perinaise is usually region-specific, but it's creamy and tangy and goes with everything and i'm obsessed with it. get creative with what you have!
ok. this is my secret ingredient. come here. lao gan ma is chili oil, but with chili crisps in it. it is the single best ingredient in my kitchen. it's not expensive, a jar of it lasts forever, and you can find it at almost every asian grocery store. it is the perfect kick of spice to add to a sandwich. plenty of heat but not overpowering, and with a mostly savory finish. god it's so good. i scoop it with a knife to avoid most of the oil and spread just the crisp over the sandwich. crunchy, spicy, savory. mamma mia.
those are the BASICS of what i can give you. if you've read this far and you actually make a Fucked Up Sandwich PLEASE tag me in it, because odds are i'll try it. be bold. make a potato salad + tangerine + tahini monstrosity. (i haven't tried that but maybe it's good???) anything is a sandwich if you're brave enough. if you're still looking for inspiration, i get a lot of ideas from traditional tea sandwiches, which are usually ~3 ingredients and can get absolutely hogwild.
if you want more specific recipes or combinations then reach out and i can send you a list, but i hope that this gave you the tools and confidence to go forth and wreak havoc. have fun stay safe eat sandwiches!

Combat the mundanity of life by combining things into a new sandwich you have never tried before, it doesn't even have to be super complicated, today's sandwich is a toasted bacon and Swiss with fresh basil on cuban bread, simple but tasty! It's not like it's something super unique but it is different enough that it helps me feel real or something
